505 Games and Overkill have announced a free playable demo for hit heist game, Payday 2, alongside the launch of the Loot Bag DLC bundle.

"Get your crew together and don the iconic masks of the Payday Crew to tackle a heist on the Branch Bank in the new Xbox 360 demo – will you make your get away before the alarm is tripped and all hell breaks loose as Police and FBI forces descend on your team?"

Players who grab the demo will be able to try the first 10 levels of the new character progression system as well as all four new character classes: Mastermind, Technician, Enforcer and Ghost.

At the current time, the demo is only available on the Xbox 360, with the PS3 date TBC.

The Loot Bag DLC (which was previously only available with pre-orders of the game), is priced at £3.39 and available from 16th October. It consists of a unique red dot weapon sight available for use on all rifles and shotguns; 3 unique masks: a unique Skull mask, ”I LOVE OVERKILL” mask pattern & red and black colour combination; plus a bundle of in-game cash. Just what every aspiring heister needs to kick start their criminal career.
